The bus is at Williams on Moreland in Atlanta. They can't look at it until Monday. Gary LaBombard insisted on coming to get us, to take us back to Charlotte.

I was looking at the invoice from Montgomery is itemized. It is very detailed, even down to the 2 exhaust bolts @ $1.70 a piece. However there is no new line listed. Makes me think they didn't change it.

When I told him the biggest problem was fuel in the crankcase, he said "Oh, then it shouldn't be that bad.". I hope not.

The HD wreckers lift under the axle. They'll have a few different size forks they can install on the end of the stinger that the axle beam will sit in.

Bob is correct! And yes, Artvonne some do actually use the "wheel cradles" instead of the axle forks, but mostly young guys with lots of extra testosterone to use showing how many heavy parts of a wheel lift they can carry while assembling it when it really isn't needed! BK

On a Eagle you chain around both torque tube pick it up and go that is the way da book says they don't have a front axle

Doh!...Clifford is correct, of course. I've spent enough time under Eagle front ends to know this....just slipped my mind. Still the same principle, though. Just gotta spread the arms on the end of the stinger out a little wider to reach the torque tubes.

Yes, he did pull the axle and put those forks on the stinger that cradle the Torsion bars at the bulkhead. It took about an hour to load her up.

When I was checking the oil the day before, I found that while working on my exhaust, the guy at W.W. Williams did not re-connect my tailpipe to the muffler! No wonder we were dying inside from the smell for the short time we were on the road. Exhaust fumes must have been sucking up inside!

I sent a LONG, LONG email to W.W. Williams this evening recounting my entire experience and asking for their help. We will see what happens.
